Trent & Tabby Cox

Serving with SIM, Ethiopia
As young veterinarians, Drs. Trent and Tabby Cox ventured to southwest Ethiopia to serve the Bunna, a semi-nomadic pastoral tribe, sharing their veterinary skills in the small village of Alduba. As they were able to enter new communities living the gospel through word and deed, the church began to grow and multiply so Bunna and other new believers were seeking training to reach the last 3 unreached people groups in SW Ethiopia. Today Trent serves the entire country as SIM Director. Living in Addis Ababa, Trent and Tabby continue to build leaders, both expat and national, by multiplying their vision to bring all the peoples of the world to Jesus. Spare moments with Jack, Lily and Desta may find them climbing mountains or caring for an animal in need, always reveling in the joy of God’s creation.

Upon returning home, she began caring for vulnerable children, from an infant abandoned in a cemetery to 84 children today from the streets and fatherless families for whom she has become Mom.
